This so sad to hear of the passing of Ferg I will remember him fondly as a good and loyal friend. I also send my thoughts and best wishes to Tina who will now have a gap in her life that will take a long time to fill Bill Woods Springfield.

We had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Fergie during his time as the Tour Leader to South Africa in 1976 and treasure the copy of his book he inscribed. A very lovely man. Condolences to all the family

Tyna and family. My heart is so sad today on learning of Fergie's passing. I worked for him at "Ferg's One Street Over" in '95 and '96, and I loved it! He was a tough but fair boss and was like a second dad in those times to me. A kind and lovely man, may he rest in peace. Kindest regards to you all. Mary Strachan (nee Anderson). :)
